Right now, everyone is looking at Bella to be the one with the dark storyline because of the locked door and the mystery of the missing husband, but I personally don't think that, whatever her story, it will be "dark", just "heavy".

We don't just think Bella is going to be the one with the 'dark' storyline... because of the line in the library, we know it's her (or that she's at least one of the characters with a dark, heavy, or tragic storyline). Again, that doesn't have to mean a death, or that anything bad will happen to her. It could be a tragic event in her past, a mental illness of some sort, some dark secret she's hiding, etc. None of that would prevent a happy ending down the road.

I agree with it. Only thing that gonna stop us from Bella is return of her husband which I hope DPC wouldn't have included in the game. But Death of Bella has no reason and it's kinda melodramatic.

A tragic storyline isn't necessarily a dark one. For example, the theories some people have had about her having a miscarriage or losing a child that was very young would be a tragic and heavy storyline but not a particularly dark on. If, however, James were to have suffered a mental breakdown or been suffering some sort of PTSD and smothered their child to death, that would be dark.

This is why I feel there's a distinction between what is tragic and what is dark, and they can't be lumped in together like they're the same thing. Death, murder, rape, psychotic behaviour, etc, are what I would consider be dark themes and anything other than that is just tragic and heavy. The dark themes would prevent or at least dampen a happy ending, whereas a tragic one does not.

Call me a romantic or a fool, but I think that no one is incapable of having happiness given the right circumstances. It's just unfortunate that many don't get that chance, in real life or a game.

Again, there are tons of examples of comedies and stories with purely happy endings out there that have what you consider 'dark' content in them (well, not too many with rape... but definitely death and murder). I think your distinction between 'dark' and 'heavy' is meaningless semantics, but it's your opinion, so... whatever. It's more about timing (it can't happen too close to the end of the story, for example) and how the characters move past those events.

That said, either of your examples in the first paragraph could be triggering for some players and would justify the intro disclaimer. IMHO, they're definitely also both pretty 'dark'.

Been a while since I last checked in. Any release date yet? If not how is there much left to do for episode 6?

No release date and we're probably still about a month away from the release based on this list of things mentioned in the latest status update as far as what's still to be done:

You probably missed the guy I did standing in line at the bathrooms. Be sure to ho through all thre doors and talk to everyone, once you do Quinn and Tommy will be available to talk to in the hallway.

Go through all the doors. Talk with Riona for a kiss. After talking with Rusty you will see Tommy talking with Quinn. Talk to him. You will have one of the best scenes in the game awaiting. I am not gonna spoil it.
